Abstract
As indicated by several chapters in this book, our knowledge of the history of Chinese jade-carving has been enhanced in recent years by excavations of datable tombs from many different locales and periods as well as by the increasing accuracy with which scientific tests for the dating and origin of artefacts are applied and interpreted. In addition, a new wave of researchers with excellent connoisseurship skills seems likely to break the Song and Ming jade history ‘codes’ in the near future.
